Our Classes

YCT

YCT is a standardized international Chinese proficiency test, which tests the ability of Chinese non first language primary and secondary school students to use Chinese in their daily life and learning.

The course includes levels 1 to 5, Students who have completed level 5 will master 600 Chinese words and can communicate in Chinese.

Picture Book

Picture books are selected as teaching materials because words combines with images tell a whole story. As children pay more attention to their daily lives, they harvest more knowledge. We emphasize the importance of curiosity and encourage kids to ask questions and give us their input when going over class materials.

Whether it is telling a story or writing one, the process should be enjoyable while being educational. When students can get excited at the idea of writing down their own stories and putting their imagination into words, we know that we have achieved our goal: to teach the kids how to turn observations into written words while encouraging imagination and self-expression.

Vater und Sohn

Father and Son are cartoon figures created by E. O. Plauen. The pantomime comic depicts a plump, balding father and his son grappling with various everyday situations. The cartoon was a weekly feature in the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung from 1934 to 1937.

Student will be able to improve their creativity and speaking skill while being engaged in class.

Journey to the West

Journey to the West is a classic Chinese novel published by Wu Cheng’en in the 16th century during the late Ming Dynasty; The Journey to the West is one of the Four Masterpieces in Chinese literature. In most English-speaking countries, it is widely known as the Monkey King.

Even now, modern children still aspire to be Sun Wukong (the story’s protagonist) because he stands for wit, bravery, loyalty, and so on.

Calligraphy

The art of calligraphy is a unique culture of China. It can improve children's artistic accomplishment and cultivate children's concentration. Learning calligraphy allows children to sit down and study the beauty of words.

Chinese Painting

Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. Painting in the traditional style is known today in Chinese as guó huà, meaning "national painting" or "native painting", as opposed to Western styles of art which became popular in China in the 20th century. It is also called danqing.
